Prosthodontic management of maxillary distal extension and mandibular partially edentulous arch using cast partial dentures- A case report.

Abstract Cast partial dentures (CPDs) are regarded as a dependable and well-established prosthodontic modality for the rehabilitation of partially edentulous arches, particularly in circumstances where fixed dental prostheses or implant-supported restorations are contraindicated. In the present case report, the prosthetic rehabilitation of a 55-year-old male patient was undertaken, in whom a partially edentulous maxillary arch classified as Kennedy Class I and a mandibular arch classified as Kennedy Class III modification 1 were diagnosed and managed. Following a comprehensive clinical assessment and detailed diagnostic evaluation, cast partial dentures were planned and fabricated for both arches. Cast partial dentures, when fabricated in accordance with established biomechanical principles and incorporating esthetically oriented retentive elements such as I-bar clasps, are regarded as a predictable and cost-efficient modality for the rehabilitation of partial edentulism.
